Growing indeterminate tomatoes is not easy. Allowing them to do their own thing will result in a tangled mess and diseased plants. But even if you decide to train them vertically and prune them regularly, if you don’t use the right type of support, you’ll still be facing challenges.

For a couple of years now I’ve been single-stemming my tomato plants and supporting them with tall bamboo stakes. As the tomatoes grew and grew, they reached impressive heights, and the bamboo stakes started snapping under all that weight. And the ones that didn’t break started tilting in random directions, which left my tomato bed looking messy and uneven.
This year, I changed strategies. I decided to string train my tomato plants the way they do in commercial greenhouses. Yes, you can still do that even if you grow your tomatoes outdoors, and it works great for growing single or double-stemmed tomatoes (or even more, but I recommend with sticking with one or two stems).
So let’s dive into this topic together and learn how you, too, can grow clean-looking, disease-free tomato plants, and how to set things up.
